Sunny: Owner | Instructor | Performer

Sunny is the owner and founder of Hooprama, LLC, HoopingForHope.org and Nahsville's one and only hoop troupe the Hooprama HoopStars. She currently teaches all levels of the Hooprama Fitness series and has many private hoop clients that she visits on a regular basis.

Originally from Texas, she moved from Boston, MA to Nashville in 1998 to be closer to her family and to leave the cold weather behind. Sunny married Inspector Dave in May 2008 and they share three unbelievably fabulous daughters who are all hoopers too... even the 18 month old Henrietta!

In April, Sunny took her hoop a few steps further and led a group of 9 students through the Music City Half marathon. They hooped 13.1 miles on behalf of HoopingForHope.org. Inspired by that venture, she took a few more steps and hooped 45 of the 60 miles in the Susan G. Komen 3-day walk for breast cancer in Washington, DC October 2008.

Outside of hooping, she loves graphic design, web-building, painting with glitter and working on her stick figure art (rubyruso.com).

Fiona: Assistant Instructor | Performer Extrodinaire

Fiona, aka Hoop Fifi, a sophmore at Hume Fogg, has been hooping since she was 12. She started her hoop career assisting in her mom's classes and then quickly made her debut on stage and hasn't stopped since. She has hooped in front of crowds of up to 16,000 people with such sass and personality- she is a true joy to watch.

In March 2008 Fiona took lead in Juggleville's To Catch a Sketch. In fact, this is one hooper to watch as she will go far in her hoop!

Yvonne: Instructor | Hoop Troupe Member

Originally from Louisville KY, Yvonne and her husband Aaron have lived in Nashville for over 10 years with their little hoopStar daughter who is 6. With a degree in Art History, Yvonne has worked in both travel and investments since college. She has a 15 year history of yoga and developed passion for hooping when she and her daughter Maggie stopped by a Hooprama hoopJAM in July 2007.

Yvonne had not hooped since she was a kid and figured that it would be something that she would be able to enjoy with her daughter. She took her first Hooprama class in Janary 2008 and quickly became addicted and perfected all of the moves. She joined Team Hooprama for the half-marathon in April while Maggie hooped at various spots cheering for her mom along the way! In October she joined Sunny in DC for the 3-day breast cancer walk and personally hooped 33 miles. And in the summer of 2008 Yvonne was invited into Hooprama as an instructor and then joined the Hooprama HoopStars hoop troupe that debuted October 2008.


Angela: Instructor | Hoop Troupe Member

Orginally from West Tennessee, Angela landed in Nashville in 2005. Athletic at heart, she started playing softball at the age of 5, and has particpated in cheerleading, running, hiking, rock climbling and gymnastics... but she loves hooping most of all!

Angela was recovering from a back injury and seeking a new way to challenge herself and after recommendations from friends, she joined a Hooprama hoop class. Angela found her back feeling better and neck pain melting away, she felt her body start to return to the way she liked it, she made new hoop friends, and had a renewed sense of self….she was back…….and her energy level….well let’s just say that if you ever meet her you’ll understand this immediately!

With a past history as an aerobic, gymnastic and fitness instructor, Angela felt a drive to teach hoop. She has joined the Hooprama crew as the instructor for our newest series: Strength, Stretch and Balance. In addition to teaching, Angela is also a member of the Hooprama HoopStars Hoop Troupe.

Angela also hula hooped with her fellow hoopers the country music half marathon in 2008 to raise money and awareness for Hooping for Hope and she will be there again in 2009 with hopes that you will challenge yourself to join us on this journey…..it will be something you will never forget….and neither will those whose lives have been affected by breast cancer, for they give us strength to do this for them….and for us….and for everyone! Happy Hooping!
